equivalence

So I'm reading this one about how american drug companies take government funded work, spend some money on testing and lawyers, and reap profits...
and then restrict access to people in poor countries because, well, they're poor...

and i'm thinking 'if the net result of this system is that some people are going to die'... how about we even out the load. For every 100 people that die in a poor country as a direct result of corporate american drug profiteering - one randomly chosen worker at said company is put to death. In 5 years we can make it 1 for 10... and in 10 years limit it to sales VPs, EStaff and lawyers.
